Urwa bin Az-Zubair narrated That he asked `Aisha regarding the Statement
of Allah: "If you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan
girls..." (4.3) She said, "O son of my sister! An Orphan girl used to be under
the care of a guardian with whom she shared property. Her guardian, being
attracted by her wealth and beauty, would intend to marry her without giving
her a just Mahr, i.e. the same Mahr as any other person might give her (in
case he married her). So such guardians were forbidden to do that unless
they did justice to their female wards and gave them the highest Mahr their
peers might get. They were ordered (by Allah, to marry women of their
choice other than those orphan girls." `Aisha added," The people asked
) his instructions after the revelation of this Divine Verse( Allah's Messenger
" whereupon Allah revealed: "They ask your instruction regarding women
(4.127) `Aisha further said, "And the Statement of Allah: "And yet whom you
desire to marry." (4.127) as anyone of you refrains from marrying an orphan
"girl (under his guardianship) when she is lacking in property and beauty.
`Aisha added, "So they were forbidden to marry those orphan girls for whose
wealth and beauty they had a desire unless with justice, and that was
because they would refrain from marrying them if they were lacking in
property and beauty." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 6, Book 60, Hadith #98 (USC])MSA Web Reference
